Gold GPEX Mineral Property Portfolio
BRIDGE RIVER GOLD DISTRICT




The Bridge River area is one of British Columbia’s oldest gold camps. Production commenced in 1858 when placer gold was recovered from Bridge River, near its confluence with the Fraser River. The placer gold was followed upstream from the Fraser, and in 1859, a second discovery was made on Gun Creek, near its confluence with the Bridge River, close to the (then) future site of the Minto Mine. Extensive placer operations were also initiated on Tyaughton and Hurley Rivers and on Cadwallader Creek. It wasn’t until the late 1800’s, however, that an interest emerged in identifying the placer source. This lead to the discovery of the Bralorne and the Pioneer deposits near the turn of the century. The Bralorne Mine became the largest gold producer in the region, yielding over 2.8 million ounces of gold and over 7 million ounces of silver. The Pioneer Mine, south of the Bralorne, and situate along the same greenstone belt, produced over 1.3 million ounces of gold and 25 million ounces of silver.

Explorations fanned out throughout the province and many other quality discoveries were made, however, numerous of these were during periods of lower gold prices, thus, many of these high potential prospects were not developed. In more recent years with the rise in the precious and base metal markets, these older properties have captured renewed interest, locking down the majority of prime prospects throughout the province. With the opening of GPEX’s mineral property portfolio, several of these dynamic prospects are now made available to parties of serious hardrock interest. Whether of larger mining status, a junior firm desiring to expand upon its operations or holdings, the entrepreneurial mining speculator, the individual seeking investment opportunities, the small operator desiring a Mom & Pop operation, or, the junior prospector seeking a quality property to engage in hardrock explorations, quite possibly the acquisition of one or more of GPEX’s properties will satisfy the search.

The “Bridge River Gold Suite,” represents a compilation of six high-potential gold properties within the region.

BRIDGE RIVER GOLD DISTRICT

“RUSTY BUCK ”
(AKA Rhodes) 
Tenure Tenure # 540018




Features – 11.66 g/t Au & 29.48g/t Ag in Sulphide Mineralization



The “Rusty Buck” property, a two cell tenure comprising 40.89 hectares, is situate south of Carpenter Lake Dam, and north of Seton Portage, on the slopes of Mission Mountain, which separates the Bridge River and the Seton Lake valleys. To gain access to the property by automobile, follow the Bridge River Road approximately 40 km from Lillooet, to BC Hydro’s Carpenter Lake Dam. Crossing the dam, thence proceed along the south shore of Carpenter Lake, then to the summit of Mission Pass. At the summit, a BC Hydro access road turns east, where this road then provides access to the property. The property is conducive to prospecting for six to seven months out of the year.

The Rusty Buck was staked to investigate a vein occurrence which assayed values.

This property is well suited for continued exploration and development, or as a capital investment property.

Capsule Geology   The Rhodes vein prospect, 0.6 kilometres east of Mission Pass, is at the contact between a body of granodiorite, presumably related to the Eocene Mission Ridge pluton, and sedimentary rocks, presumably of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group).

The prospect consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite and small amounts of chalcopyrite, within the intrusive margin of the granodiorite, and may represent a contact-replacement or skarn type mineralization. No further information is available on this particular showing, although similar mineralization exists at the King (092JNE126). These may in fact overlap the original Rhodes group of claims.

A representative sample assayed 11.66 grams per tonne gold and 29.48 grams per tonne silver (Geological Survey of Canada Summary Report 1912, page 207).

BRIDGE RIVER GOLD PROPERTY No. 2

“IN BETWEEN”
(AKA Moha) 

Tenure # 537697

Features - Quartz vein with 7.75g/t native Gold & 2.58g/t Silver


IN BETWEEN


Central coordinate: 122° 10’ 01.1” W Longitude, 50° 51’ 37.1” N Latitude


The “In Between” tenure, a one cell claim comprising 20.398 hectares, is situate along Bridge River at Horseshoe Bend. Prospecting conducted over the tenure area during the mid 1930’s led to the discovery of a quartz vein bearing native gold. A low-tonnage bulk sample was taken, which assayed high gold values, however, low gold prices which followed the Great Depression of the 30’s, then the War years, coupled with further low gold prices, resulted in the property not being developed. GPEX conducted considerable research into the potential of this property, which resulted in its 2006 staking of the tenure. Only limited work has prevailed.

 

Access to the property is via the Bridge River Road, with the claim lying in the immediate vicinity of the famed Horseshoe Bend, approximately 24.1 road kilometres (20.25 air kilometres) northwest of Lillooet. The property is conducive to prospecting for about eight months out of the year.

 

This tenure is suited for continued exploration and development, or as a capital investment property.

Capsule Geology The Moha prospect is on the southeast side of Bridge River, 0.8 kilometre southeast of the confluence of Yalakom River with Bridge River.

The prospect covers a quartz vein 15 to 38 centimetres wide within fractured andesitic greenstone of the Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group). The vein contains native gold; no sulphides have been reported. In 1935, 93 grams of gold and 31 grams of silver were recovered from 12 tonnes of vein material (Minister of Mines Annual Report Index 3).
